Veteran Hong Kong stars reorganize the Chinese entertainment industry.

Pushing open the door, I saw a dozen or so people sitting inside, mostly men. Among them were a few very good-looking young men who looked quite young; they were probably the main actors in the show.

What surprised Liu Zhongze the most was the young man sitting in the main seat. He had met him when he was on the set of the TV series "The Ugly President Falls in Love with Me with Menopausal Dementia".

That person was the boy who auditioned; he had an innocent and cute appearance and was originally the one with the best chance of getting the role of Thomson.

Because the other person was sitting in the main seat, Liu Zhongze subconsciously assumed that the other person was the director. However, the other person's age did not seem like that of someone who could be a director. Perhaps it was because the other person had attended a professional drama school and possessed the ability to be a director?

Upholding the fine traditions of actors from the 80s, Liu Zhongze extended his hand to the boy and asked, "You must be the director? I am Liu Zhongze."

The boy flashed a set of white teeth and said, "I know you. I met you a while ago. You can definitely act, but I'm not the director. My name is Lin Youyu, the male lead in this show, and the representative of the fire-type warrior spirit in tokusatsu dramas."

Liu Zhongze then realized that everyone around him was watching the show with amusement, and several of them couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the boy next to Lin Youyu said with a smile, "Sister He is the director. She is both the producer and the director. Because Sister He wanted to save face, she didn't tell you about this. When I first came, I didn't know that Sister He was the director. I thought I had been scammed. I was so scared that I quickly opened the anti-fraud APP. I only breathed a sigh of relief after I found that the APP was not responding."

"Wind, stop fooling around." The person next to the boy tugged at him.

At this moment, He Qian walked up to Lin Youyu and began to introduce her, saying, "It's similar to what Chen Fengqi said. Your sister He is also a director. It's a low-budget tokusatsu drama. There was no other way; I was afraid you would run away, so I didn't tell you."

She pointed to Lin Youyu and the two people next to him one by one, and said, "Lin Youyu, the male lead, is the summoner of the fire-type battle spirit. You've met him before. The one next to him who's a bit of a chatterbox is Chen Fengqi, the second male lead, and the summoner of the water-type battle spirit. Next to Chen Fengqi is Xie Yukai, the summoner of the wood-type battle spirit. They all come from the Central Academy of Drama and are roommates."

He Qian pointed to Liu Zhongze and said, "This is Liu Zhongze, the third male lead. He is the summoner of the Earth-type Battle Spirit. I hope you can cooperate with each other after filming begins."

He introduced a few more people to Liu Zhongze. He Qian sat in the empty seat next to Lin Youyu, while Liu Zhongze sat next to her.

Chen Fengqi asked cheekily, "Sister He, isn't this the Five Elements Summoner? There's another lead actor, you can't possibly not get him, can you?"

He Qian rolled her eyes and said, "You're showing off! The Gold-type Battle Soul Summoner won't appear in the early stages. You guys film first, and when it's time for the Gold-type Battle Soul's scenes, that person will naturally appear."

Chen Fengqi shook his head and said, "It will naturally come out~"

Xie Yukai gently nudged Chen Fengqi, signaling him to stop, then raised his wine glass and said, "Sister He, this is the first film for the three of us brothers. I hope you can do a good job and achieve a good result."

"No problem, no problem." He Qian clinked her wine glass with Xie Yukai's, pushed up her glasses with the back of her hand, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Youyu said, "The dishes haven't been served yet, but you've already started drinking. Let them serve the dishes first."

Liu Zhongze observed the expressions and demeanor of the crowd and realized that the group was actually led by Lin Youyu. He remembered that Sister He had said that the office was obtained through Lin Youyu's connections, and since Lin Youyu was not staying in a hotel and was now sitting in the main seat, he suspected that this meal was paid for by Lin Youyu.

All signs indicate that Lin Youyu's company is very powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't have immediately secured a male lead role for him after he couldn't get any roles in the short drama genre, and they wouldn't have provided support to the production team, which can be said to have relieved a lot of pressure on Sister He.

Sure enough, as soon as the food was served, Sister He picked up her wine glass and said, "Let's toast Lin Youyu first. It's all thanks to him that we have tonight's opening ceremony. It's also because of him that we have the right to use the office in Hengdian Building. Come on, everyone, pick up your glasses."

Besides the actors, there were also important photographers, editors and special effects artists present. As for the lighting technicians, they were not in the private room. It is unknown whether they were not qualified to come in or whether such people did not exist at all.

Everyone raised their glasses to Lin Youyu, politely drank a glass of wine, and then sat down to start eating.

The meal went fairly amicably. The group was roughly divided into two groups: Lin Youyu, Chen Fengqi, and Xie Yukai formed one group, while He Qian and the other group consisted of staff members. They chatted amongst themselves and occasionally toasted each other.

Liu Zhongze ate his meal silently; he was the most focused on eating, and no one asked him to drink.

Normally, since Liu Zhongze took Lin Youyu's role, Lin Youyu should have resented Liu Zhongze. However, Lin Youyu did not show this. He seemed very well-mannered, completely different from Chen Siyu, who caused trouble in the cafeteria.

Lin Youyu didn't seem to take Liu Zhongze seriously, probably thinking that he had nothing to talk about with someone like Liu Zhongze who wasn't part of the regular team. He spent the whole time talking to the producer, Sister He, and his two other roommates.

The meal lasted until around nine o'clock in the evening, and everyone's face was flushed except for Liu Zhongze.

The group went downstairs one after another. As soon as Lin Youyu came out, he was picked up by a nanny van. He Qian spoke with a slight lisp, saying, "Lin Youyu... is different from us. The company behind him values ​​him a lot."

She pointed to two dilapidated vans and said, "These... these are our crew's vehicles, but... there's only one driver. Nakazawa, could you drive them and take us all back to the hotel?"

He Qian was unsteady on her feet, so Liu Zhongze had to support her arm and lead her to the bread cart. When he opened the door, he invited He Qian to get in.

At this moment, the driver took out a set of keys and said, "You haven't been drinking, have you, buddy?"

Liu Zhongze shook his head. No one had paid attention to him just now. When he toasted Lin Youyu, he didn't drink at all. Anyway, no one cared about him, so he was happy to be free.

"It's a good thing you didn't drink. If you had, you would have needed to hire a designated driver."

Liu Zhongze took the keys and opened the door of another van. Chen Fengqi climbed in first, followed closely by Xie Yukai. They both looked extremely drunk.

After Liu Zhongze and everyone else got into the van, they went to the driver's seat and started driving.

He followed the van all the way back to the hotel. Fortunately, the van was old enough to be similar to the ones he had driven in Hong Kong. If it had been a new energy vehicle or a newer one, he might have needed more time to understand it.

By the way, it seems he doesn't have a driver's license...
